      <description><![CDATA[Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Retreat

	Saturday, May 12 &#45; Thursday, May 17

	We all wish for spiritual realizations, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions, such as purifying negativie, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings.&amp;nbsp; In this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit, or positive energy, by making mandala offerings and receiving blessings by engaging in Guru Yoga practice.&amp;nbsp; This is a special practice that enables us to strengthen our connection with our Spiritual Guide.
